I have a son with severe B thalassemia who received blood transfusion in April. Now there are still 10 units to be discharged from blood transfusion. What should I do?

Severe thalassemia can generally check serum ferritin after 20 blood transfusions or over 2 years old. If the iron content exceeds 1500, iron removal treatment must be started.

At present, there are three ways to remove iron. First, deferoxamine is injected subcutaneously for 5-7 days a week. Each injection was 8- 12 hours. The cost of blood transfusion is about 2000 yuan per month. Second, over 2 years old, take Enrique orally once a day. At least 2 boxes per month, each box is 2000 yuan. Third, over 6 years old, oral deferone, three times a day, more than 700 per box. Cure treatment requires hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
